This is awesome! Thanks to the folks from Union Drinkery (3216 Georgia Ave, NW) for sending.
“Neighborhood bar. Drinks. Food. Patio. Foosball. Private events.”
That patio now looks, HOLD UP – Foosball?!??! Looks like I’m about to relive my old college glory days…

“Dear PoPville,
Do you know what’s going on with Eat the Rich, Mockingbird Hill, and Southern Efficiency? I walked by the other day and it looks like they’re all closed for good (white butcher paper covering the windows), and their websites aren’t working. Have these businesses shuttered?”
From a press release:
“The most anticipated pop-up of the summer is coming. Beginning June 21st, Drink Company and Ommegang Brewery present the Game of Thrones Pop-Up Bar (PUB), in the spaces formerly known as Mockingbird Hill, Southern Efficiency, and Eat the Rich (1839-1843 7th Street NW). (more…)
Wait, what? I want in! I think. Has anyone experienced this magic world yet?

Well, they put up a good fight…
Vivid’s Facebook page says:
“Vivid Lounge will quickly become your favorite destination this summer! We will bring some new flavor to the District by catering to a diverse crowd and offering great deals on drinks & food. Also, did we mention we’re located at the heart of DC’s historic U St. Corridor? More info coming soon.”
Handsome Cock (formerly Touchdown, and Momo’s sports bar), above the Codmother, is now Vivid Lounge.
And that’s pretty much all I have to say about that.

Any venue/bar/house party in DC was going to hold a viewing party for the Twin Peaks premiere on Showtime this Sunday?”

This could be very cool – the liquor license placard for Dynamix Lounge, right next door to Sticky Rice, says:

Stay tuned.
